Peter Beck is a well-known financial expert and President
of Swift Trade Securities, Canada’s leading direct-access
trading firm.
A true entrepreneur, Peter started his colourful career as a chef
in Hungary. He immigrated to Canada in 1979 where he started a
number of successful businesses, including the country’s
first long distance company in 1988, competing directly with Bell
Canada. When he sold the company in 1993, there were offices coast
to coast making it one of the leaders in the industry.
In 1997 Peter read an article about a US Day Trading firm and
decided to bring the concept to Canada. In just four years, Swift
Trade Securities grew from one office to 10 across Canada, used by
over 400 full-time traders. Swift Trade Securities remains
Canada’s premier Direct Access Electronic Trading Centre, and
today operates 38 offices around the globe with a further 25 slated
to open in 2005. The company was named #2 on Profit
Magazine’s 100 Fastest Growing Canadian Companies list for a
remarkable 5-year growth of almost 9000%.
